Need help with settings

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

Oh yea...
P4 3.0 2 gigs ram 6800 256m

Everything is on high...65 to 110 fps accroding to teamspeak overlay, and fraps

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

My videocard is a MOBILITY X1600 256mb Dedicated.

Means I chose it over a laptop with a 7600.

Plus I prefer ATI, but im not going to get in an argument.

That rig isn't good enough to run high! Low/medium is OK.

Why Not?

The CPU is good. It never goes above 50% on bf2.
The GPU is good, it handles BF2 fine easily, and runs Oblivion on all medium.
The HDD is fine at 5,400rpm.


Oh and I know plenty on hardware, ask me.

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

Because I have a computer more than capable of running bf2 on high, as you see in my sig, but I cant run it higher than low because it will stutter like hell. I have 1gb of RAM, EA sucks at optimizing, 1gb of RAM should be enough to run at medium-high, but no I cant.


Any1here runs a 1gb with medium to high settings?

My HDD light flickers on and off every 10s indicating PF usage.

That rig isn't good enough to run high! Low/medium is OK. Before whining at EA, get used to hardware, understand what it is, and get help on forums.

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

Why would you buy an ATI vid card in the first place? *CHEAP*

Thats why...Their going down the tubes, thats why thier cheap...
While your out buying a video card buy the other Gig of ram. Your gonna need it sooner or later anyway

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

My pagefile is system managed.

I have nothing running in the background, no AV, only ATT, Realtek, Intel Wireless, and Logitech for my mouse, the rest is windows stuff.

I have no spyware or virus I scan with AVG, Spybot, and Lavasoft Adware SE every couple days.

I also have the latest (6.7) Catalyst Mobilities.

Re: Im So Pissed at EA

did you think to make your page file bigger?

Did you consider that the HDD may be accessing because of some other program in the background?

Have you done your due dilligence to eliminate OTHER parts of your system as the problem?

Hardware is only half the story...

A poorly tuned Porche with sugar in the gas tank will be out-ran by a toddler on a tricycle.... just the same, a really nice pile of hardware, assembled and configured by an inept pc neophite with spyware all over will get blasted by an intense piece of software like BF2.

Your hate for EA is misguided, at best.
